Up north, Northern California’s Coast Ranges bleed into the Cascades around Mt. Shasta. Our dividing line for purposes of discussion is I-5. The east side of I-5 is well-explored, though most of the exploring to the northeast of Shasta is by snowmobile. To the west, one finds some of the most forested and wild area in the lower 48.
